Re: If Favre is released.........
No no no no no no no no no.
First of all, Favre is not a long term solution. He is a quick fix. Bulger will still be in this league for years after Favre has retired. That would mean that with plenty of holes still yet to fill, we will have to spend a very high draft pick next year on a quarterback for when Favre hangs it up. With Bulger, getting a Qb won't be such an immediate need.
Secondly, I know it has been stated that many of our offensive woes can be attributed to injuries on our offensive line (I have been a firm believer in this). But for the sake of argument, lets say that even when totally healthy, our line isn't as good as we thought it would be. Or imagine if injuries ravage our line again? Remember, it wasn't just last year we had injuries on our O line. 2 years ago we finished the season working behind a patchwork line too. Have you seen Favre play when he is constantly under a lot of pressure? Sure he can make plays, but lets just say this... its not a cooincidence that he is the all time NFL leader in interceptions.
Not to mention he would have to get acclimated to an entire new playbook and establish a rapport with a whole new set of receivers. And do you really want our first and second string quarterbacks to both be pushing 40?
And finally.... what if this "will he or wont he" retirement nonsense he likes to pull every year follows him to St Louis. We have enough problems, Brett Favre's offseason dramatics certainly don't need to be one of them.
I could go on and on but I wont. I just don't see any good reason whatsoever to ship Bulger out and bring Favre in, other than maybe to sell a couple tickets.
